Gold Coast: Oblogo, September, 1920; a single female reared from material taken from a canoe. Genus KEMPIA, KiefF. This genus, originally described by Kieffer (1913) as a sub-genus of Dasyhelea and subsequently raised to generic rank by its author and removed to the Airichopogon group, appears to be characterised chiefly by the presence of a well developed empodium on the legs and of pubescence on the eyes, and the absence of the longer hairs from the wings. We have referred the insect described below to the genus Kempia, notwithstanding the fact that it bears on its wings a few decumbent hairs, because, as stated elsewhere, we are inclined to regard this character as of specific rather than generic value. It may be noted, however, that in the case of Prokempia the absence of the longer wing hairs appears to have been considered by Kieffer sufficient justification for its separation from Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine.
